2014 Mercedes C-Class Pops Up Early

The competition in the entry-level premium sport sedan segment is as fierce as ever these days, especially with the new Cadillac ATS now on the scene. While the BMW 3 Series is the typical benchmark, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class has always been a worthy competitor. Fortunately, a new C-Class is just around the corner and today some exterior images of it have leaked online. Mercedes previously released some interior images, and now a Spanish website has gotten a hold of some exterior shots and posted them online.

One look at the car and you’ll agree it's pretty much like a scaled down S-Class. The images show two different versions of the car, one of which is equipped with the optional AMG sports pack. Don’t mistake this with the official AMG C-Class, which will debut at a later date. Overall, the 2015 C-Class looks good both inside and out, but we’ll have to wait and see how it does in a direct competition between it, the 3 Series, and ATS.
